Lou Morgan : Chuck Noland was a big hero. Besides, it's good business. The insurance pays for the damage, but it doesn't do very much for the reputation of the building. A thing like this scares people off.
Joe Mannix : And that's the extent of your involvement, Lou?
Lou Morgan : [chuckles] Come on, Joe.
Joe Mannix : Just thinking out loud. Any idea who might have done it?
Lou Morgan : Had to be a lunatic.
Joe Mannix : Or somebody's hired gun.
[Schaeffer enters the room]
Joe Mannix : Well, right on cue, Schaeffer.
Schaeffer : Whatever that means, Mannix, I'll bet it's cute.
[hands Lou Morgan a document]
Lou Morgan : This the casualty deal?
Schaeffer : All it needs is your signature.
[Lou signs the document]
Schaeffer : [checks his watch] We tee off in 45 minutes. I'll see you at the club.

Joe Mannix : Do you know anyone who might have wanted to kill Noland or Roy Elkins?
Schaeffer : No, I don't.
Joe Mannix : How about Joyce?
Lou Morgan : Joyce? I don't know what you're talking about.

Joe Mannix : My client, Roy Elkins.

Joe Mannix : What's that mean?
Lou Morgan : Chuck Noland's wife was getting a divorce. Lawyer she used to be stuck on was handling it. It was going to be pretty messy. She lives in San Diego.
